>> Vendor Rebates

Vendor rebates are often overlooked or just forgotten. Because of the amount of effort required to collect the necessary information and then prepare it for the rebate claim, many distributors feel they cannot justify the time. In reality this could be true with other systems, but with e-DISTAC, rebate is 100% automatic and is the means to improving profits. In many cases the rebate tracking alone will pay for the e-DISTAC system.

Stock items to be rebated can be identified different ways according to the requirements of the vendor. For example an item can be set up as a rebate item so that each time the item is sold, the invoice line item is flagged for rebate. For some vendors rebate is by customer and by stock item. In this case the stock item is set up for rebate only when certain established customers purchase the item. A given stock item can also be rebated different ways for different vendors. Moreover, the rebate amount can be a percent of your cost or a fixed dollar amount and once you have identified those rebate items, e-DISTAC does the rest. At the end of the month, e-DISTAC prepares a report by vendor showing all sales and their rebate amount in a format that is acceptable by most vendors. No need to collect data or rewrite it, e-DISTAC does your rebate for you automatically.
